The seniors continued their winning form with a win in their first 'friendly' match of the year against Lee on the Solent. Vice-Captain Graham Light headed our team who recorded four wins and two halved matches, no losses.
A mixed week for the mens section. First of all, a big congratulations to The Mail on Sunday team who beat Stoneham 4 - 1. But unfortunately, the men lost out against a very strong Hampshire schools team.
